Personally, I Can't Stand Violence. In Any

I Make My Films Because I'm Affected By A Situation, By Something That Makes Me Want To Reflect On It, That Lends Itself To An Artistic Reflection. I Always Aim To Look Directly At What I'm Dealing With. I Think It's A Task Of Dramatic Art To Confront Us With Things That In The Entertainment Industry Are Usually Swept Under The Rug.

For Me, It's Always Difficult When A Historical Film Claims To Depict Or Represent A Reality That None Of Us Can Know, That Is Always Different. It's Always The Case. We Never Know What Happened Then.

Unfortunately, You're Helpless When People Interpret Your Work Wrongly. There Are Simply People Who Can't Or Won't Understand Or Accept What You're Trying To Do. When You Take The Risk Of Expressing Yourself In Public, You Have To Open Yourself To That Possibility.

You Become A Film Critic Because You're Interested In Film. I Don't Know Whether Knowing So Much About Cinema Leads You To Make Better Films, But It Certainly Can't Hurt.

The Difficulty, Then, Is When You Create A Church, An Institution, And You Create A Dogma. When You Create An Ideology, That's The Danger. Communism, Too, Is A Beautiful Idea, But Millions Of People Died When Communism Became An Ideology.
